Feb 22 Homes for Heroes fundraiser Gala – HMCS Discovery Feb 26 NOABC Luncheon Speaker - Capt Don Chapman – 737 Max Mar 6 78FH & 15 Fd Whiskey Tasting World War 2 – 1945 John Thompson Strategic analyst - quotes from his book “Spirit Over Steel” Feb 19th: 4th and 5th Marine Divisions begin landing on Iwo Jima and 30,000 men quickly find that Kuribayashi’s 22,000 Japanese have prepared an elaborate maze of fortifications and this fight is going to be the toughest yet. In the Philippines, a series of landings is made on Samar, Dilupari, Capul and Biri. One of the ghastlier incidents in a foul war: About 1,000 Japanese troops retreat through 16 kilometres of mangrove swamp on Ramree Island off Burma… as they go, hundreds of them fall victims to the large Saltwater Crocodiles than infest the area over the next three nights. Corporal Tony Stein of the 5th Marine Division is among the first to land on Iwo Jima and feel the full teeth of its carefully prepared defences. Using a salvaged aircraft machinegun adapted by his own hands, he uses it to assail pillbox after pillbox, killing some 20 of the enemy. Eight times he returns to the beach to acquire more ammunition (carrying a wounded man each time). Through the whole of this terrible day, his courage and leadership have been exemplary. He receives the Medal of Honor for this day’s work, but it is a posthumous award as he is killed in action on Iwo Jima on March 1st. 1 Feb 20th: Himmler, as commander of Army Group Vistula, is doing a poor job as the Soviets roll northwards into Pomerania on a 200km wide front. XX Corps of US 3rd Army conducts further attacks into the “Saar-Moselle Triangle”. Every step on Iwo Jima is covered by interlocked fields of fire from carefully sited Japanese weapons, but the first of the Island’s airfields is captured today and the Marines from the 5th Division close up to the base of Mount Suribachi. The Oak Ridge facility in Tennessee has made enough U-235 to assemble the world’s first nuclear weapon. Feb 21st: Kamikazes make their contribution to the defence of Iwo Jima and the escort carrier Bismarck Sea is sunk and the fleet carrier Saratoga (among others) is damaged; the fighting on the Island is leading to soaring casualties. In Burma, 17th Indian Division races towards Meiktila, while 2nd British joins 20th Indian Divs over the Irrawaddy to the North. In the Rhineland, Goch falls to the 51st Division of XXX Corps. In the Philippines, Bataan is clear but fighting continues on Corregidor and is just as ferocious in Manila. Gruppenkommandeur Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer is Germany’s leading night-fighter pilot and already has the Knights Cross with Swords, Diamonds and Oak Leaves. In the early hours of this morning, he downs two British bombers with his Me-110G; and this evening he downs seven more. By the time the war is over, he has killed 114 RAF bombers. Essential Reading: George Macdonald Fraser is best known to the world for his novels (particularly the Flashman series) and screenplays; but he was a private soldier in a British regiment in the 17th Indian Division in 1945. His recollection ‘Quartered Safe Out Here’ – written almost 50 years later – of the fighting around Meiktila and the later drive south are from that humble perspective. He doesn’t remember much of the grand tactics but his depictions of combat and the men he soldiered with are superb. This is one of the best memoirs ever written by a private soldier. eBook available at the Apple bookstore for $11.99 Feb 22nd: US XX Corps has done a solid job clearing the Saar-Moselle triangle. Elements of 5th Army make gains in the Reno valley in Italy. Some 6,000 British commandos land on Kangaw off Burma. Feb 23rd: After years of sitting on the fence, Turkey declares war on Germany and Japan. Poznan falls to Soviet troops. Mount Suribachi is taken by the Marines on Iwo Jima, and Old Glory is hoisted; but two thirds of the Island is still in Japanese hands. The old Intramuros centre of Manila is still in Japanese hands and the fighting for the city remains ferocious with many civilian deaths. German aircraft sink their last Allied ship of the War off Norway. 1st and 9th US Divisions stage an excellent assault river crossing over the now less than flooded Roer and enter into the Rhineland campaign. On Iwo Jima the Japanese had planned their defensive networks with meticulous care to ensure every angle was covered by fire and take a heavy toll from the US Marines. But Corporal Hershel Woodrow Williams reacts to one defensive belt by spending four hours under intense machinegun fire crawling from Japanese bunker to bunker with demolition charges and flamethrowers; single-handedly opening a lane in a network of interconnected bunkers and mines to let his comrades start cleaning it out. His fighting spirit and devotion win him the Medal of Honor. 2 Feb 24th: The second airfield in Iwo Jima is taken while the 3rd Marine Division comes ashore. Julich is taken by elements of 9th US Army while the British and Canadians attack toward Udem and Weeze. Taungtha is taken as 17th Indian closes in on Meiktila. The Japanese can be cool customers when lurking in the defence and Staff Sergeant Raymond H Cooley of the 25th US Division on Luzon is under no illusions about the difficulties in attacking well prepared Japanese positions. When two concealed machineguns open up on his platoon, he leaves his men under cover and works up to one, dispatching it with a grenade. He is joined by one squad of his platoon as they cluster together to dispose of the second gun. He had pulled the pin of a second grenade when six Japanese erupted around him; he had no time to throw the grenade or drop it without risking his men as the melee began around him. So, he smothered the grenade with his body and so died. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Feb 25th: Iwo Jima’s thickest defences are being encountered on the high ground beyond the second airfield. The Germans mount a counterattack near Stettin which achieves much locally and means nothing generally. Duren is taken by VII Corps of US 1st Army, while 3rd Army makes more attacks near Saarburg. TF 58 goes back to thump airfields near Tokyo again. 15 Fd Regimental Centennial Party Former and current serving members gathered for this photo.

The event started on Friday afternoon with a display of Museum equipment on the parade square and in the Museum, the Association set up a big display of photographs from the Regiment’s past and a table of 3 memorabilia items in the upstairs lecture rooms. In the evening a large crowd gathered for a ‘meet and greet’ and a tour through the Messes. The Birthday cake On Saturday afternoon the Regiment set up a display of current artillery equipment to show attendees how things are done today, along with the Museum and Association displays. In the evening the main event started with over 300 in attendance. Attendees were provided with a meal from food vendor trucks in the compound and were entertained by a dance band with appearances by the Regimental Band. Late in the evening the birthday cake was cut and all got a slice. Pictures were taken of all former and current serving members of the Regiment. There were also some winners in the crowd. MWO Heath Porritt was the successful winner of the first Regimental Bear and there is still an outstanding ticket for the second. That number ends in 957. Contact [email protected] if you hold that ticket! The 50/50 prize was won by Sgt JKS Cormier, the Regiment’s Fin Clerk.

On February 19, 1945, the United States brought the war in the Pacific to the front doorstep of Japan. Iwo Jima was a tiny dark island four and a half miles long and two and a half miles wide. Located only 660 miles south of Tokyo, it looked from the air like a lopsided, black pork chop. On the bright, clear morning of that fateful Monday, a vast armada of 485 American ships completely surrounded Iwo Jima. Battleships and cruisers stood off in the distance to batter Japanese positions and pin down the enemy so that the assault troops might get safely ashore. Great flashes of orange flame erupted from the ships’ guns as they sent huge shells howling toward their targets. Closer still, graceful destroyers seemed to dance off shore, dueling Japanese gun batteries, while rocket ships turned broadside to unleash flights of missiles.

The Halls of Montezuma and the Shores of Tripoli and all of the other places they went in response to the call “Send in the Marines” were lesser engagements (but don’t tell it to the Marines who were there). As they moved across the Central and South Pacific, island by island, invasion by invasion, the Marines had learned to fight a determined enemy, increasingly protected by fortified posi- tions and armed with a will to fight to annihilation. Iwo Jima, eight square miles of heavily fortified volcanic rock and ash, was defended by about 21,000 Japanese veterans of China and Manchuria. There were on that small patch of land no less than 730 separate strong points, some at the southern tip of the island around Mount Suribachi and more in the high ground at the wide northern end of the island. The price paid by the Marines V Amphibious Corps was heavy. More than 5,600 Marines lost their lives and 890 sailors died.

  • Mar – May 2020
    The MAR 2020 - MAY 2020 VOL 31 ISSUE 1 Year-end Report From The Executive Director By Kim Kovesci, MAPS Executive Director 2019 posted the best financial results at MAPS since I became executive director in 2011. It was primarily due to the best visit we have ever had by the Collings Foundation, the best Don Sitts Car Show ever and admissions at record lev- els. Our membership climbed to 781 members by the end of the year with our volunteer hours approaching 59,000. The number of visitors remained at about 41,000 for the second year in a row. We expect this to climb again after the ban- quet hall opens. Our income exceeded $400k for the first time since the last air show in 2006 and our operating income was the best ever recorded. The financials are not the only area where we had tremendous success. I was amazed at the teamwork that has begun to blossom between the cura- tors and library volunteers. They teamed up on a project to provide a dis- play in the library commemorating the anniversary of D-Day. It turned out to be very educational and a huge success. Next, they created a diora- SUNDAY 11:30 - 4:00 ma that shows what it must have been like during the Battle of the Bulge.
